What Tasker profiles is everyone using?? (This thread is NOT for requesting help with profiles)

Folks, need a bit of help on something I want to make/do.

I use "SweetDreams" - or something like it - to turn the phone into silent at a certain time, then back to normal at the next morning.

Yeah, I know TASKER can do it..... This is from before I had TASKER.

Anyway, the problem:
Say someone calls me while the phone is in silent mode, or I get an SMS.
I have a small program for now which is activated for 1 minute after the phone is put back to normal mode.

I found how to get it to tell me I have SMS's, but missed calls?
The stubling part is I want BOTH.
So the "script" is:
Condition:
UNREAD-TEXT AND Time
Action:
Say "You have a new SMS".

I guess to make it work for calls, I have to copy the script and just change it to MISSED-CALL AND Time
Action:
"You have a missed call".

Is there a way to make an OR function for Un-read message and Missed call?
 
Prev. I had a row of widgets, when I clicked on it activated a profile and turned the others off, so each widget had an off icon and an on icon - it looked good, but it took up real estate on my phone. Rob helped me get this setup, I think -

I want to make a widget with a menu task that will give me the option to call up my profiles (not tasks) and will turn off the others when I select one - i.e. when I select home, it turns school off and home on. Then the widget icon would update to the home icon. I've almost got it, but I don't think the toggle function I had for the other multi widget options will work for this, as the tasks to toggle I used before is now calling multiple profiles when I attempt a one widget menu.
Any ideas? This solution calls tasks, not profiles, but I like having the current running profile next to the active profile tasker icon in the notification bar. While I like the functionality of the above link, I hated having a whole extra space in the notifications.
Thx
 
I got the Tasker and K-9 Mail. .
I would like to know can Tasker make the k-9 mail sound notifications same level every time I received a email?


i made a task file. I got a problem.



it is working well but when I play music or listen Netcasts, the volume go down, the volume doesn't go up after notification finished

I think the solution would be to have each of those widgets activate a variable, and then have a profile (for example, "Beach") that kicks in when that variable is activated. This way, the toggle's ONLY task is to activate the variable. Then, the Tasker profile kicks in, setting your different tasks and whatnot, and shows up in the notification bar.
 
I think we should get a good thread going with how everyone has set up profiles in Tasker. With so many options, sometimes I overlook a really cool way to set up a profile. Here is what I have, post yours:

1. Bedtime
Context -
Time: 2130-0300
Orientation: Left Side
Power: Plugged in
Tasks -
Media Volume set
Load app - White noise
Wait - 5 seconds
Load app - digital clock

2. Quite Clock
Context - same as above but time until 1000
Tasks - Notification volume - set
Exit task - notification volume set

3. Car
Context - Bluetooth connected
Tasks -
Media volume set
Wifi off
Exit tasks -
Bluetooth off
Wifi off

4. Call
Context - Incoming call
Tasks -
Auto brightness on IF %CNUM !~ 0
Ringer volume set to 0 IF %CNUM ~ 0
Wait 45 seconds
Auto brightness off
Ringer volume set 15


That is mine except for a few really basic ones. There is still 1 I want to set up:
-Face down at a certain time -> screen lock, otherwise no lock, alarm triggered until unlocked if picked up.


So what is everyone else doing?

i just installed tasker now onto my X10, i want my wifi to switch on when i get to work from 8am till 4pm, how do i set up that profile?

Launch Tasker
Click 'new', optionally enter a name, eg 'Wifi Work'
Click 'time'
Enter From: 08:00, To: 16:00 and click 'Done'
Click 'new task', optionally enter a name
Click blue '+'
Click 'net'
Click 'wifi'
Set to 'On' and click 'done'

Set to 'On' and click 'done'

done, im at home now, will see if it works when i get to work tomorrow
 
The way I do my work profile is using a calendar event. I have my work schedule on my calendar and use tasker to turn on wifi, mute ringer volume, and change my wallpaper while I am at work.
 
I have a Work profile setup to switch to it during my work hours.
When the off time is reached, it exits back to my Home profile.

I have an SMS off profile to turn off notifications while I'm sleeping, and I have one named Out that I switch to manually whenever I'm not at home or at work. It disables wifi (don't want to sync over public wifi), turns off sounds, and enables the lock screen with PIN.

I also have one setup to turn on the Vocalyst app when I connect my BT headset and kill it when I turn it off.

That's weird. Was your Tasker app active ('on' button green)? Do you have any task killers running?
 
I have a few:

1) Carmode : says my text message to me sender and body

2)launch GPS for a few apps.

3)headset plugged in launches pandora

4) Battery level at 20% it states to plug in the charger and plays imperial march

5) I also have one that i helped a person with that changes the wallpaper every couple of hours but i disabled it.

6) a demo I created and posted on youtube (I also posted here once before) - to show newbies what tasker is...

OK. Not has Tasker long but sorted out one Profile - turns wifi on when in range of home wifi and off when out of range. Not using phone towers but just turning on/off and checking every few minutes. I don't use towers as a) I think there's only one near me as only 1 out of 4 networks here gets a signal and b) wifi only just about reaches outside of my house so 'out the door' is more or less 'out of range'.

Anyhow, I'd like to be able to auto-connect to the BT in my car's stereo but there's a problem. That is, the stereo has a quirk (read - bug!) where it doesn't auto-connect to devices unless they are visible (from a BT viewpoint) even if they are already paired correctly. I have to set BT Visibility 'ON' for a connection to happen. Now from what I can see I can't see Tasker being able to control this. Am I mistaken or can it do this? (Yeah, I know, I need a new stereo in the car! But in the meantime .... ) ...

Thanks.

Okay I need a little help here since I have been out of the Tasker game for a little while. What I am trying to do is create a profile and a widget to control it.

I am looking to have this profile activate when the toggle is hit and then stay active for 1.5 hours.

The profile that I am looking to do is to make it so that when I receive a phone call it will let it ring once, then end the call, and then send out an SMS with a message on it to that number.
 
I got most of it down I just want to set up the profile for sending out the SMS. I need to know how to make it send to any number not just one specific number.

For the send SMS task, the number should be "%CNUM" (without the "). This is the variable for the last call received.

Got it... Thanks!

What I did was a two step process.

Profile:

Name: Gym Time
State: Phone Ringing
Tasks:
-Tasker, Wait, 3 Seconds
-Phone, End Call
-Phone, Send SMS, Number: %CNUM, Body: Hi, %CNAME. I am at the gym right now and can't talk. Send me a Text or Voicemail and I will get back with you soon.
Done.

Now you want to disable this profile from the start so be sure to do that in the main menu.

Widget Task:

Go to your home screen and long press an open area.
Select Widget.
Select Tasker.
Select Task.
Tasks:
-Alert, Pop Up, Body: Gym Time! Enjoy your workout.
-Tasker, Profile Status, Long Press Name, Select Above Profile, Set ON.
-Tasker, Wait, 45 Min, 1 Hour.
-Tasker, Profile Status, Long Press Name, Select Above Profile, Set OFF.
Select ? mark in lower corner and choose built in icons then select an icon.
Select Make Widget

Glad I could help, I have a similar situation. I use the auto reply for a profile while I am driving.

Hi All,

Sorry about this, but I'm not sure if there is an answer to my question on this thread - I want to read it all, but I also want an answer to my question a bit more quickly than I have the time to read all of this...

What I want to do is this....(btw I'm on GV2.8, so running CM lockscreen settings - gesture controlled ones, which I think are well cool...)....

I want to (generally) have my lock turn on after 30 mins of screen timeout or turned off, but I want to be able (in certaiin contexts) to have it turn on immediately, or after 30 seconds, say.

I've looked into keyguard, but this doesn't seem to quite work, and I've also tried looking at a locale plug in called locale password lock plug in - but that didn't seem to work either...

I know that I can set WidgetLocker to come on and off, and use that fr it to work, but I find that WL/Handcent SMS Pop-ups/Swiftkey X don't play very nicely with each other - naughty apps!

Any ideas/help?

Many thanks

Andy

I use locale password plug in, you have to enable it via settings->accessibility->tasker

Also I use LockerWidget, SwiftKey X, and GoSMS Pro (I used to use Handcent) with pop ups and everything works fine for me. What exactly are you having problems with?

One thing I do is in my locking profile when I enable a password lock is I disable WL, then I have another unlock profile when the password is entered correctly that enables WL. Maybe that will solve your problems

I did this but I don't want a password, I want to use gestures - it just seemed to immediately ask me for a password? Do I get more settings available after I put a password in, and can then disable this "locale plug-in password? I did notice that one reviewer for the locale password said that it 'unlocks the power of CyanogenMod gesture settings' - or something like that....

Also I use LockerWidget, SwiftKey X, and GoSMS Pro (I used to use Handcent) with pop ups and everything works fine for me. What exactly are you having problems with?

The keyboard just doesn't seem to work quite often (but not all the time) when replying using the pop-up messaging box in Handcent, I spose it must just be a combination of my set up - if I get rid of WL, it works all the time.... I think....but is LockerWidget different from WidgetLocker?

Trying to avoid using WL for the reasons mentioned earlier....

I meant WidgetLocker, lol
 
hi
i am new to tasker and really liked this thread. I downloaded Auto Sleep Mode (with exceptions) from About - Tasker Wiki and changed the time and added the phone numbers in exceptions.

Problem is when that phone rings, the silent mode is switched off but android doesn't ring and when same number rings second time then it rings.

I don't know what is happening..

Any body please help
